We can offer you the same personal attention and the convenience of in-home training.  If you  and a couple of friends are interested in working with their dogs at the same time we can set up a mini-group training sessions right in your house with a schedule just for you. Group training can be beneficial for you and your dog is several ways. The first benefit is that controlled socialization with other dogs and people is built into a small-group class. The second benefit is the other dogs and people can provide distractions for your dog, so you're getting "real world" experience during your training session. The third benefit is that training together with friends is fun and helps to keep you on track. When your Mini Group class is finished, you can have a chat session and play for the dogs.  Detailed sheets containing the material covered and homework assignments will be given to each participant weekly. Classes are one hour each week for four or six consecutive weeks and will be tailored to the needs of your group. Behaviour Specific Training Workshops These workshops allow you to work through one behaviour to success.  You'll learn how to start the behaviours, how to progress to the next level and troubleshoot along the way.    *  Loose Leash Walking    *  Reliable Recall - "Come Back To Me"    *  Crate Training - Games to help make the crate a fun place to be PLEASE CONTACT THE DOGWISE OFFICE TO BOOK A WORKSHOP THE PAW Training Videos TRAINING LINKS DOG GOT SKUNKED?
